En väldigt intressant artikel och forskning om vad som händer i hjärnan när flerspråkiga personer pratar eller när de växlar mellan olika språk. Exempelvis, hjärnan kan göra så att en persons mer dominanta språk trycks undan och försvagas för att personen ska snabbare kunna hitta ord på det mindre dominanta språket som de behöver just då. Och mycket annat intressant.

"In one of her experiments, Gollan analysed the language-switching abilities of Spanish-English bilinguals by having them read aloud paragraphs that were just in English, just in Spanish, and paragraphs that haphazardly mixed both English and Spanish.

The findings were startling. Even though they had the texts right there in front of them, participants would still make "intrusion errors" when reading aloud, for example, accidentally saying the Spanish word "pero" instead of the English word "but". These types of errors almost exclusively happened when they were reading aloud the mixed-language paragraphs, which necessitated switching between languages.

Even more surprising was that a large proportion of these intrusion errors weren't words that participants had "skipped over" at all. Through the use of eye-tracking technology, Gollan and her team found that these mistakes were made even when participants were looking directly at the target word."
